Cafe Louis — Restaurant in Camden

First the good part, in terms of flavor, the food was fine. The worst part is how they choose to serve their food. I ordered the vegetarian Posole and it literally came in a 1 inch high saucer like "bowl" - and I use the term bowl loosely. We visited in January, it was really cold out, but inside too. I get that it is an old drafty building, but the staff were wearing knit caps, etc. This soup had no shot of staying warm by being served in a saucer!! I think of all the Mexican restaurants that serve such soup in a nice deep, thick bowl for half the price, which leads me to say why bother coming back! The ratio of broth to dry ingredients in the Posole was also crazy because it was topped with mounds of unseasoned, uncooked thinly sliced cabbage, that you had no hope of ever incorporating into the tiny amount of broth the saucer it was served in could hold. So, we took all that spare cabbage home to the chickens. They had a delicious tasting Margarita - served in a glass COFFEE CUP, not even mug size, like Grandma serving tea size, and they filled the cup with ice cubes higher than the rim. I had to remove ice cubes to just be able to tip it up for a drink. I would be shocked if the Margarita in that cup amounted to even 2 oz and it was $14! Observing bar service of wine and other drinks to the customers that you had to sit very close to, the wine glasses looked more like Aperitif glasses. The menu on the website was completely different from the one offered that night (which should be noted on their website). They had an app of two fish tacos (that were about 2-3 inches long) served on a China tea saucer that made me feel like I was at a 4 year old's tea party. They tasted ok, but for the price, not worth it. My husband got the burger, which he acknowledged was good, not knock your socks off good, but ok. The fries were thin, crispy, and scant. Overall, it just felt Chintzy - like trying to skimp to save dimes will missing the bigger picture of people willing to spend more for enough to make you feel full. Even more importantly, to keep a good winter service for locals, the food has to be hot, the atmosphere cozy, and you cannot serve Alice in Wonderland tiny tea party bar beverages for the price your competitors serve that are...

Two of the items that my wife ordered were too spicy for her, to which Cafe Louis did not charge us for, a very nice accommodation. Her chicken entree was perfect, while my steak entree was a little tough but still very tasty.

The other concern was the lack of a bare sidewalk to reach the entrance on the side, walking in snow and ice...

This is not the real café Louis page. The first person to review, which was also a bad one, created the page and put an incorrect address. They also referred to it as Mexican food, but it’s Costa Rican + Honduran. Please see Café Louis - Costa Media for accurate...
